Anyway, we’re now at Kathmandu airport – waiting to board out first flight to Doha. The last 2 weeks have been awesome, the places we’ve seen, the people we’ve met, the things [...]

Today was an interesting day. I’ve spent most of the day holed up in my bedroom trying to drink and sleep enough to feel better – it wasn’t the most pleasant night I’ve ever had! I’ll be making an effort to avoid Buffalo Momo in the future – although I’ll still be having vegetable Momo!!! [...]

Well, we’ve arrived safe and sound! Was a very long journey to get here, took me 28 hours and even Chuli who had the shortest journey was over 18 hours! Doha was an interesting airport – we arrived there at 5.40am and it was already 32 Celsius outside, that was a shock!
First impressions of Nepal [...]
